Alright, so I decided to do the right thing and rehome my whitecloud minnows... To my empty 10g tank! (lol gotta love MTS) This has created space in my 20g tank. So of course I am gonna add more fish once the move is done. I already have 3 kuhli loaches and 12 cherry shrimp in it. I am thinking of adding 2 more kuhlies, 6 cherry barbs and 1 pearl gourami. I looked at the end fish sizes and sized out my tank and that should work. In addition I looked up the info and it said that generally these fish would be peaceful to eachother. But you know how reliable that can be lol

So the final stocking would be:
5 kuhli loaches
12 cherry shrimp
1 pearl gourami
6 cherry barbs

Any suggestions?

Hi
I think your stock list looks good, sounds like a fun tank.
Don't forget the pics!

Yeah I keep meaning to put those up Will get around to that. Gonna rehome the minnows and some of the plants to the 10g then start the pictures in progress lol The minnows seem to be doing fine but I really didn't feel right forcing them to adapt to the higher temps, even though I upped the oxygenation of the water. So, I am giving up on a dwarf puffer tank for now and going to give the minnows a cooler water tank.

I have a 5g that is not in use that maybe I could use for one dwarf puffer >.>

The minnows will be happy about your decision.
I'm pretty sure you can 1 DP in a 5g. They're really adorable. I was going to get one but a betta followed me home one day and claimed one of my 5g's lol

I don't know if you've seen this:

Oh trust me I been reading up on the dwarf puffers... Well puffers in general lol
5g per dwarf puffer so one should be fine. Also, I am glad I read up on it since the lady at the LFS tried to convince me I could keep a dwarf puffer in my community tank to keep down snails that hitched a ride in on the plants when I first started setting everything up. Gotta love the LFS and thier ability to give wrong information.
